Chapter 521
A prisoner, also a barbarian, died as soon as he died. Although it was a bit of a disappointment, it was just a disappointment, and no one would worry about him.

There were even people in the court who secretly rejoiced that if the emperor offered captives in the Taimiao, His Majesty's reputation would be improved and the warriors would become more and more uncontrollable, so what would the princes of the court do?

The news that Najit was poisoned to death gradually became known. After the victory, all parties did not want to be unhappy by this incident, so they suppressed it.

The guard in charge of the escort was sent to be the general manager in one of the most miserable fortresses in Ji Town, and the magistrate of Shunyi County was transferred to a poor place in Shaanxi to be a magistrate after finishing his job. This is already similar to exile. .

The matter was handled in a low-key manner, and all parties tacitly suppressed it, but Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong were still in a cold sweat after knowing the truth. The Taimiao presents prisoners. This ceremony is very beautiful even for the emperor, let alone Wanli. The young emperors who have studied in the Huwei Martial Art Museum should be harsher, and everyone may lose their heads, but fortunately, now it is Empress Dowager Li, Eunuch Feng, and Zhang Ge Lao Bingzheng. They don’t take such things very seriously. In other words, he didn't want Wanli to take advantage of this incident to be too glamorous.

But this is something to say later, in the first month and February, the whole world was attracted by the big victory outside the Miyun defender's side wall. This is really a big victory that has not been seen since the Xuande year. Qi Jiguang is a famous player in the world, and Li Rusong is the goalkeeper. The eldest son, he has a lot of outstanding military achievements in Liaozhen.

It is reasonable for the two of them to lead the army to win this battle outside the Miyun guards. Everyone felt that the famous general really had something special.

The Ministry of War has already named this great victory "Gubei Great Victory". With the brilliance of these two men covering it, everyone paid less attention to the fact that the Huwei Army had also participated in this battle.

Intentionally or unintentionally, some of the forbidden army went out to practice and were besieged by the Tartars. Then Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Ji Town, and Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, calmly dispatched them and followed the plan. Instead, they wiped out most of the Tartars and hurt their vitality.

***********
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, far away in Fenzhou, Shanxi, during the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month, the gate of Yongshengbo's mansion was closed.

In the first month of the new year, there is no celebration in Yongsheng Bo's mansion. Instead, they are preparing chariots and horses, as if they are going to travel far. Some people have seen this.

But after a period of time, everything in Yongsheng Bo's mansion was the same, with feasts and guests, and a certain general in Datong also had some changes.

These are all in Shanxi, and it returned to normal during the first month. When everyone is rejoicing for the big victory, even if someone knows, they will not pay attention to it, let alone discuss it on the table.

************
After the twentieth of the first lunar month, although there was no clear official document from the imperial court, rumors had already spread that Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Ji Town, and Li Rusong, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, both won the titles of earls. Uncle, the soldiers and horses led by each of them will be rewarded generously.

Although Huwei's battle was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, the thousands of genuine heads brought back were not fake. Even if they were suppressed, they had to give an explanation, not to mention that Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng were always exerting pressure.

Wang Tongjin Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi, and his rank was General Xuanwu. This was from the fourth rank. Although it was a vacant position, many thousands of households had the rank of seventh and eighth rank. It was the first time that Wang Tong was awarded the rank The order is from the fourth grade.

However, this loose rank from the fourth rank can also be said to be useful, or it can be said to be useless. Useless means that this class does not have any rights. It is equivalent to a title. The grade of real work.

Li Hutou, Li Tao, Sun Xin and others also all received the fifth-rank Sanjie this time, the so-called generals of Wude.

The Military Selection Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs checked the records, but found that Tan Bing had already been ranked as a thousand households, and this time he was also given a loose rank from the fifth rank, which was regarded as a commendation, and the rest had been promoted to a greater or lesser extent.

The Tan family took these things lightly. Li Hutou and the others had obtained the promise of Emperor Wanli, so they had confidence in their hearts, and Wang Tong could afford to wait.

In addition to this, the private positions of Haihe patrol inspector and canal inspector have obtained legal status and set up the Tianjin Division of the Royal Horse Supervisor in Tianjin Wei.

The household department has thirteen divisions named after the thirteen provinces in the north and south of the world, each with its own affairs. Although the Yumajian is in charge of the internal revenue and expenditure, it is really nondescript to set up such a Tianjin division. It is much more convenient to add a yamen to the six ministries.

Moreover, millions of taels of gold flowers and silver are sent to the palace every year at various checkpoints in Tianjin Wei. With such a large amount, it is appropriate to set up an inner court yamen here.

Under the Tianjin Division, Haihe Inspection and Canal Inspection are set up. Under the inspection, there are two deputy inspectors. The inspection is the eighth grade, and the deputy inspection is the eighth grade. It is allowed to recruit young and strong folks as helpers to assist in various affairs.

Because the amount of money collected by Tianjin Sizhang is huge, it is also the top priority, so the eunuch in charge is concurrently served by Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Wang Tong, who is stationed in Jinyiwei Qianhu in Tianjin, is in charge.

This nondescript inner court office is a real benefit to Wang Tong. The inspection of the Haihe River and the canal was originally an official position set up by Wang Tong privately. There is no official official recognition for setting up cards to collect taxes. He placed his cronies there. The name is not right and the words are not right, it is all maintained by force, and now at least there is an explanation.

There are a total of six patrol inspectors and deputy inspectors, and thirty guards, which is not a big deal, but the permission to recruit civilian young men makes the guards of the Tianjin Guards and Security Army and the Xiangzhong at the bow become Officially recruited helpers have a semi-legal status.

The greater benefit Wang Tong got here was that the appointment of Emperor Wanli and the establishment of the organization meant that he did not care about other income except tax revenue from setting up cards.

Although the seaport will be built in the future, part of Haihe's income will be transferred to the seaport, and Haihe inspections will definitely also take into account the seaport, but the bulk of the income will be the lease of shops in various places, the trade between seas, and the monopoly of several goods. It is the business of Jinshan Yinhai.

Originally, the legalization of the tax cards in various places in Tianjin Wei, as well as the establishment of the Tianjin Division, would definitely be opposed by the Outer Court, but the several cards on the Tianjin Wei side have actually existed for a long time, and there is another incident in the north of Gubeikou Great victory, if Wang Tong is not rewarded for military promotion, he must make concessions in other aspects.

As a matter of fact, quite a few officials from science and Taoism agreed with it, saying that instead of being anonymous, it is better for the imperial court to set up official offices and restrain them with laws and regulations. This is the way to benefit both the government and the people.

Because of these Qingliu's proposals, Wanli even wanted to set up a single yamen similar to the Salt Transportation Department in Tianjin Weidan, but he tentatively asked the cabinet chiefs, but was resolutely resisted.

Although the court resisted this time, it was the university scholars, the ministers, and the ministers who spoke out.

**************
"My lord, Xu Guangguo returned to Tianjin Wei the day before yesterday, and wrote off 470 taels of silver with his subordinates. One thousand,400 taels were the cost of buying a house and people, and the rest were banquets and gifts. My subordinates The list was accepted, but Xu Guangguo was asked to stay and wait for the adults to ask."

After Sun Dahai finished speaking, he handed over a thin account book, and Wang Tong flipped through it, and the items on it were clear, and it was nothing more than the details of purchases in major shops in the capital, so it was clear to give it to someone. But there are no high-quality officials.

"Xu Guangguo should spend money on errands, but judging from this posture, it is obvious that he is spending money on his own with adults' money, which is really outrageous."

Although Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang are old and of high status, they respect the scribes around Wang Tong and always call them Mr. But they look down on Xu Guangguo. Looking for a job here, and now spending so much money in the capital, how can the housekeeper Sun Dahai think of it.

Wang Tong flipped through a few pages, and he often reads the account details of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. He probably has an impression of the price of the goods, but he can't see anything wrong with the details of Xu Guangguo's expenses in his hand. He raised his hand to stop Sun Dahai. spoke, and said:
"Call Zhang Shiqiang!"

Sun Dahai quickly bowed down and went to call for someone, but he was a little puzzled, why did he call for Zhang Shiqiang after talking about Xu Guangguo for a long time.

When Zhang Shiqiang yelled, Wang Tong raised the account book in Yang's hand and asked:
"Xu Guangguo spends money in the capital, how will the people you send pay back?"

"It is true that he bought the house, maids and servants, and he is not frugal in his daily life, but when he goes to buy gifts and so on, he always brings his servants with him when dealing with social affairs, and he never hides from people when he settles accounts."

Wang Tong nodded, Xu Guangguo went to the capital, naturally Wang Tong couldn't leave him alone there, and there was an eyeliner by his side. Hearing what Zhang Shiqiang said, Wang Tong probably had a clue in his mind.

***********
"This time Qingliu spoke for us for the first time. I wonder if it's your credit?"

Hearing what Wang Tong said, Xu Guangguo, who was kneeling on the ground, had a somewhat smug expression on his face. Wang Tong smiled and continued:
"Either it's your business, or those officials have business with us and care about their interests, so they stand up and speak out."

Seeing Xu Guangguo lower his head, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Some people say that you spend too much money in the capital, and that you play tricks in it. Don't rush to distinguish. When you interact with those officials, you have to behave yourself, don't you? You settle accounts and pay money everywhere. It’s all for people to follow, so as to be a proof, isn’t it?”

"The master said so!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong understood the key point so well. Xu Guangguo was stunned for a moment before answering. Wang Tong smiled and nodded, and said:
"Others say you, I believe you, how much you want to use, how much you want to spend, as long as it is used for business, just go and withdraw it, you do it with your heart, I can't do without your wealth here!"

Xu Guangguo kowtowed with a serious expression...
